Reconditioned Rim
This is a first for me. I never heard of a reconditioned OEM rim. They are selling them at Wal-Mart. I very rarely go cheap or cut corners when it comes to safety related car and truck parts but any of you ever deal with reconditioned RIMS? I think Kia is the name of the company that sells them.

Lots of reconditioned wheels out there, steel or aluminum. They straighten them, weld if needed, shine 'em up and there you go.
I would not be afraid of a steel wheel but would take close look at it and make sure it's guaranteed to hold air.

Lots of other hits on a search.
That said, some steel wheels are out there in such quantity that they can be found dirt cheap.
I just sent a set of Toyota 16x7 steelies to the scrapper as I had no luck selling them, not even to a wheel outfit that advertised selling them for well over $50 per copy.

Anything reconditioned and landing on the shelves of Walmart tells you a few things. The #1 concern would be the safety aspect. I'll save you the trouble and recommend you walk right past them. Walmart is synonymous with "Cheap" and all things inferior.

Ended up just taking the steel ones to the scrap yard along with a bunch of other stuff because NO ONE wants to buy those rims used unless it's from a wholesaler. You get a 30-90 day warranty on those, from me you buy 'em you're stuck with 'em.

I just scrapped my 95 F250 4x4 about a year ago, everything was rotting cab was rusting out at the mounts had a nice set of OEM alcoa's on it and had 10 steelies with all good rubber loaded in the back. No one wanted it it as a parts truck or the wheels junk yard offered me $100, I still feel like I should have gotten more it is what it is.

You could have got some money for those.
Reconditioned rims are common. Nothing wrong with them. Doubt Walmart would take a risk.
But a lot of stuff walmart shows online actually isn’t available. Unless they are changing it. I think they are testing the market to compete with Amazon.
